Location:

Online - www.d2l.msu.edu Asynchronous, non-interactive, online, self-paced

Description:

This online training is for relatives raising relative children.

In the State of Michigan, over 28% of children under the age of 17 have experienced two or more adverse childhood experiences, well above the national average. Adverse childhood experiences include verbal, psychological, physical, or sexual abuse (witness or victim), among other somewhat complex traumatic events (ACES Study, 2011). These traumatic experiences can greatly affect how children view and cope with life. Complexly traumatized children often behave in ways that seem random, unpredictable, withdrawn and extreme, struggling with impulse control and being able to think through consequences (NCTSN, 2017). Research and practice are now opening our eyes to the significant relationship between behavior and Trauma exposure. In this workshop, you will learn about common similarities and differences between typical developmental behaviors and Trauma behavior, as well as, the interrelatedness of each. You will receive strategies for parenting children who are exhibiting big behavior due to trauma exposure. In addition, you will receive tips and resources for further education and tools available to families.

Not all injuries cause pain, and not all pain is due to injuries. An explosion of brain research demonstrates that all pain is constructed by the brain as a danger/alarm function. It is imperative to distinguish pain caused by structural disorders from pain caused by neural pathways in the brain. Appropriate treatment of pain is guided by this distinction with the goal of resolution of pain for individuals with neural pathway-induced pain.

Location:

Synchronous, interactive, online live webinar

Description:

Brief Strategic Family Therapy (BSFT®) is a culturally sensitive, family-centric intervention designed to prevent and treat child and adolescent behavior problems by treating youth symptoms while improving family interactions.

Training will include a theoretical presentation of this evidence based model so that trainees can understand the foundational aspects and the treatment goal formulations of BSFT. We will show how BSFT is adaptable to culture, family dynamics and presenting symptomatology; Students will also learn how to differentiate between “process” and “content” as the key to success and permanence in creating and maintaining therapeutric changes.

Through lecture, video presentations, and interactive participation, this training will assist the trainees to incorporate into their practice effective BSFT processes. These processes include diagnosing maladaptive family interactions, creating an effective therapeutic system, and orchestrating change in the family systemic interactional patterns.

These skills will include:
• “Joining” techniques (engaging and entering the family system),
• Tracking and diagnosing techniques (identifying maladaptive interactions and family strengths), and
• Restructuring techniques (transforming maladaptive interactions).

FET is the early prevention, psycho-educational offshoot of BSFT® that targets a younger, pre-symptomatic yet at risk group of children and their families. These models were initially developed at the Center for Family Studies at the University of Miami, which Hervis co-founded in 1974. While with the Center, she conducted research, developed the therapeutic models, and designed and conducted training programs for clinicians, interns, residents and fellows. In 2003, she founded the Family Therapy Training Institute of Miami (FTTIM™) in order to disseminate these models and the clinical findings of 35 years of education, research and practice in this field. FTTIM is a private, minority owned and operated institute of learning. If you can fit it- include this- if you cannot- it is okay not to include the following: Hervis holds a Master's degree from Barry University and has completed post-graduate training in New York (Nathan Ackerman Family Institute), Pennsylvania (Philadelphia Child Guidance Clinic), Louisiana (Gestalt Institute of New Orleans), and Florida (Gestalt Therapy Institute of Florida and Southern Institute for NLP).

Description:

The NASW Code of Ethics addresses competence as a general standard for practice throughout the code of ethics. Increasingly, social workers are encountering individuals and families who live with active traumatic stressors, irrespective of their professional training. At the same time, the term “trauma” is used ubiquitously to refer to a wide range of stress responses. In this presentation, we examine a developmental model of competency to aid practitioners in understanding the difference between generalist practice social work, trauma-informed practice, and trauma-specific treatment. This developmental model will aid practitioners in developing a plan of action that is designed to support professional growth towards being a competent provider of trauma-specific treatment, as guided by the Code of Ethics.

Synchronous, interactive, online live webinar

Description:

This webinar explores physical pain symptoms as bodily messengers that can help individuals understand and manage pain sensations by using mindfulness strategies. The unpleasant nature of pain symptoms generally lead to difficult emotions, which can then generate more pain. When this cycle of pain symptoms goes unnoticed or unaddressed, the cumulative effect can lead to more serious physical and mental health problems. In this webinar, participants will learn a body-sensing approach that differentiates emotions from physical feelings or sensations. The webinar includes experiential exercises so that participants will have the opportunity to practice the skills taught.

Beginning and intermediate skill levels.

Location:

Synchronous, interactive, online live webinar

Description:

As social workers assume roles of leadership – whether formally or informally - leading social or organizational change or fostering social or organizational stability, they must do so with a clear understanding of ethics and a rich set of concepts, skills, and tools. Especially in times of uncertainty and conflict, such as these, this vital set of resources (many of which are drawn from social work; many from other fields) are essential to achieving outcomes that improve the common good and empower the marginalized all while ensuring integrity in methods and outcomes by remaining grounded in a firm set of ethics.

Drawing on some of the best writing and thinking in the fields of social work, leadership, social and organizational change, and ethics, this series provides the participants with the concepts and tools necessary for effective ethical leadership, management, and change agentry.

Session 1 will lay the ethical groundwork (drawing on a range of ethical frameworks, including, but not limited to, social work) and research-based and proven leadership constructs for social workers to lead in a range of settings and around a range of issues.

Session 2 will build on the ethical and leadership framework outlined in Session 1 and apply them to the role of the leader in promoting societal and organizational change, when change is needed, and stability, when stability is needed.

Both sessions will explore the ethical dilemmas inherent in leadership and change agentry and approaches to resolving those dilemmas.
